Introducing the EAR Yoshino V12: A Symphony of Power and Elegance

Inspired by the prowess of Jaguar's renowned engineering, the EAR Yoshino V12 emerges as a marvel of audio perfection, embodying the essence of high performance, balance, and grace. This amplifier, with its innovative design that draws upon the geometry of powerful engines, showcases a remarkable blend of technical brilliance and aesthetic beauty.

	Design That Commands Attention The EAR V12 is not merely an audio device; it is a statement piece. Engineered with twelve EL84 tubes arranged in a meticulously organized layout, it achieves a central weight distribution that not only enhances sound quality but also creates a visually striking profile. The use of chrome and a bold styling approach ensures the EAR V12 commands presence in any setting, blending seamlessly without being obtrusive.
Craftsmanship Meets Performance Echoing EAR Yoshino's longstanding tradition of exceptional craftsmanship, the V12 stands out with its exquisite details. Hand-selected, polished wooden end caps adorn the valve covers, offering a touch of elegance and uniqueness to each unit. Chrome transformer covers evoke images of sleek, aerodynamic prowess, hinting at the sheer power waiting to be unleashed.
	A Vision Realised in Sound Tim de Paravicini's genius is fully realised in the EAR V12. This masterpiece goes beyond assembling tubes; it introduces a 'balanced bridge mode circuit' for unmatched power and clarity. This innovative circuit design, complemented by a Pentode Mode parallel push-pull class "A" configuration, ensures low distortion and superb linearity, enveloping listeners in a pure, detailed sound.
Uncompromising Power The V12's custom, hand-wound transformers are a testament to its no-compromise design philosophy. Produced in Cambridgeshire, England, these transformers support an ultra-wide bandwidth, extending the frequency response to bring every nuance of the audio to life. With fifty watts of power from each bank of EL84s, the V12 delivers a listening experience that rivals the dynamic power of its automotive namesake.
